After a month I gotta say that kd3 is the weakest out of the trilogy, not to say its wack, its still a dope album but I don't see the hype in it that most do. And I'm a major nas Stan.

There's only maybe 3/4 songs that I would go back to regularly. I feel the first 2 projects were just more soulful. I really don't need to hear anymore nas and hitboy again.

People will call it album of the year but imo the formula got tired and it doesn't touch roc marci album with alc imo.

I like the Roc & ALC album but at this point Roc isn’t rhyming about anything anymore!
The songs have no concept or meaning with interchangeable “pimp bars”!

Hard to compare to KD3 to me!

I think he's more pro-Jayz than he is anti-Nas but since he's a Jay stan, it obviously comes off as nas hate since he's still tryna push that Jay as the GOAT narrative


pretty much the same thing. It's like saying someone's pro-Yankee's, you know on some level they're anti redsox.

It's no coincidence that every time some saying something slick about Nas, after some basic digging....we find out that person has some connection to Roc Nation lol.

People like to say it's just a coli thing....nah you see that shyt in real life too

I go back to more songs but I'm fluctuating whether it's my second or third favorite KD. I think KD3 is good but there are some parts that feel kind of trivial or meta. WTF SMH while I appreciate part of the message, the "old person trying to appeal to the youth by appropriating their language/slang/etc" is always going to be corny to me. Reminds me on the song on KD1 where he said something about being left on read. I'm just not trying to hear a 50 year old dude say that. Meta wise, I'm On Fire is meh to me for just being "I'm so good right now." That doesn't work for me as shyt talking, especially for one of the best shyt talking rappers of all time.

Overall I think it's good though. When comparing the other albums the immediate thought is like...the intro and outros on KD1-2 and Magic are far better to me. And I think the production is better on KD2 and Magic, overall. Lyrically I think the others may be stronger too but I'm not sure yet.
